When it’s rainy out, it tends to create a ‘pokey’ atmosphere.
So today, we were a little pokey.
Ally, however, seemed to have enough energy for all of us.
She seemed to have begun her day with new motivation and strength.
When I thought to myself, “Why?”,
I recalled the post she made yesterday.
It sure made this mama proud.
I was thrilled to see her eager and committed to getting things done.
She completed her schoolwork and helped in the house a lot.
Will did a lot of individual reading.
He seems to be really interested in the Civil War lately.
He has enjoyed reading books about it and Abraham Lincoln.
He’s been looking through and reading our Abraham Lincoln Photobiography.
He discovered last week that George Washington’s AND Abraham Lincoln’s
birthdays are next month. He was quite excited!
Also today, he and the lil’ girls did a lot of constructive play.
Me… I had ‘business type’ things to tend to
and I was finally able to finish the dress
I started two weeks ago! Woo hoo!
Our weekend went pretty well.
We enjoyed a baby shower this weekend at church.
Ally and I sang our first duet together there.
It was a nice time of food, fellowship, games,
and praising God for the new precious one in our church.
Yesterday morning during the service,
I spent realizing that I need to begin training/re-training
a few of my children to sit in church.
After the service, I came home a little exhausted
from leaving the service so many times.
I found myself feeling a bit discouraged.
So I laid the younger ones down for quiet time
and spent time in prayer.
A book I read a few years or so ago kept ‘coming to mind’,
so after prayer I grabbed the book and sat in my rocking chair.
I was so glad I did.
It was a blessing to be encouraged and reminded
of why I want my children in the service with us
and why it’s so important for me to train them in church, in worship.
Through prayer and reading,
the Lord gave me the ‘umph’ I needed to keep pressing on.
I am so thankful we are able to worship as a family.
Well, that’s all from me tonight.
The children all have dental appointments tomorrow
but I hope to accomplish a few things before we head out.
Hope everyone enjoyed their Monday!
“This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
~ Psalm 118:24
